I believe you, that's just a lot of cars. Not knocking you in anyway, just not my pace! -I tend to hang on to cars a lot longer. My last car I had for 12 years. My Mini will most likely go to one of my sons (the oldest is only 2 1/2 ...so it will be awhile)! -yet that's when I'll probably get a new car.

Man, that's a shame. Actually, now may not be a good time to trade, a couple of months ago 08 used MINIs were selling at above msrp due to shortages. The market's slowing down, the only cars that trade well right now are the hybrids.

Not sure why go through 5 cars in one year, maybe that's the gypsy part, lol. Hope you do well in real estate, my brother who lives in Boca tells me the market there is really tough right now.

WOW, that's a pile of cars a year! Cybergypsy is my idol!

Now I don't feel bad at all about my friends & fam sweating me when I replace my cars about once a year.



(Currently '07 Mini R56, 04 Toyota Tundra, 07 BMW 328xi)

I disliked the Clubman because the car was not built correctly. There was always something wrong with it, either rattling, vibrations, or something loose. I had to bring in the car every other week for something else wrong with it.

I am not happy and proud to say this cause my 2006 was perfect and never had any issues with it. The only reason why I sold the car was to get the Clubman and I regret it now and hopefully when I get my new Mini Cooper S. from the trade in, in the 1st week of Dec, that it will be just like the 2006.

It's really not the same car at all. There are many differences, one major one is the way it's built. As soon as I picked up my Clubman in March of this year, there were 2 dents on the roof and on one of the doors, and right there I should have known that this is the wrong car for me. Someone was trying to tell me something. On top of that, someone banged into my Clubby 2 times in the back and one person banged their door into my passenger side leaving it with a major league scratch.

I am looking forward to the new baby, and I know I made the right decision to trade it in. This is the right thing to do. I will never look back and never ever again think of a Clubman.
